California Court of Appeal
Acqua Vista Homeowners Assn. v. MWI, Inc., 068406
In a case brought by a homeowners association (HOA) against a supplier of pipe used in the construction of a condominium development, averring violation of Civil Code section 895's standards related to allegedly defective cast iron pipe manufactured in China used throughout the building, the trial court's order denying defendant's motion for JNOV is reversed where section 895 requires homeowners suing a material supplier to prove that the material supplier caused, in whole or in part, a violation of a particular standard as the result of a negligent act or omission or a breach of contract.
